After the end of the pandemic emergency measures, some of us did not return to the DC1 offices, but we were given the task of preparing the DC2 office space for occupancy and the start of test operations.
Starting to settle in DC2
Despite the limitations we keep going – new gulls, new motor-generator, new challenges
Most of us would like to be back in the office again, but management has decided that we will have to work from home for a while. At least some of us. Our datacenters are always busy, we are not just hosting providers 😉
Data centre WEDOS 3 “kravín” – first virtual view
So far, 2020 is a very action-packed year for us. Several services are close to completion(WMS, WEDOS Cloud), others are being prepared for beta tests or are already being tested (WEDOS CD, WEDOS WebSite). It’s a good thing we recruited 5 new colleagues last year and will be adding more in February 🙂 However, we also moved forward with our third datacenter project. Since it will have sloping roofs and be in the countryside, we call it a “cowshed” 🙂

Concreting the heated car park at DC2 or how to make your work easier and make use of waste heat
Our second datacentre DC2, which we call “Bunker”, is basically finished. Inside, rather minor construction work is underway to prepare the building for normal operation. We are only waiting for the papers to be approved.
Hluboká was without power for an hour, except for WEDOS
The power went out in Hluboká after 4 pm today. The length of the outage was just over an hour. While neighbors came out of their houses to make sure it wasn’t just them, most of us didn’t notice anything. The only thing that alerted me to the outage was an email in the mail and the noise of the motor generators.

How datacentres are connected
In addition to our existing datacenter “Bunker” we decided to build a second datacenter “Trezor”, where the technology of cooling servers in an oil bath is completely used. The waste heat is then discharged into the municipal swimming pool. At the moment, the construction work has been completed and we are working on the internal infrastructure. At the end of April we blew out the optics. We learned a lot of new things and, of course, recorded everything for you.
How the DC1 modernisation is going – April 2019
Modernization of our first datacenter “Bunker” started last October. It was a long-planned project based on the newly gained experience with the DC2 construction and especially with the currently ongoing TIER IV certification. We had to start thinking differently, find new technologies and also adapt to the technological trends of today and the near future.

How the construction of our second datacenter is going
We are not afraid to write that our second datacentre will be one of the Czech technological uniquenesses of which we can all be proud. All servers in it will be cooled in an oil bath. This cooling technology is incomparably more economical than air cooling. In addition, it will allow us to move the excess heat to the nearby municipal swimming pool, where we will use it to heat the pool. This way, the bulk of the waste heat is recovered instead of being vented outside.

TIER IV and support systems
If you’ve been following our series, you’re starting to get an idea of what a datacenter needs to meet to be TIER IV certified.

We have previously introduced TIER in general and how important safety is for TIER. Today we’re going to introduce everything about power.
